Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas

Sorry

Sorry for the dearth of postings lately. We’re still short some docs, so I’m working more.

Thanks to my 3 readers for checking in; hopefully something a little more interesting tomorrow. I have some emails that deserve a response (good blog topics) and, after a long string of shifts like this, my spleen needs a touch of venting.

?They never stopped. Two days off in 5 months of continuous combat operations. Truely (sic) un-sung.?

Kind of puts things in perspective.

Allen, I particularly want to call your attention to the photo “The hootch, or a tent away from home” and the attendant comments.

At least some in the USMC recognize the need to keep the troops comfortable. I can attest to the noise of the “environmental unit” although after awhile it becomes almost a “white noise” noticeable only when it goes off. It was still preferable to hear it than the snoring two cots away!!
